Photos of Rylee- taken yesterday. I can't believe how grown up she looks!
I'm taking a photography class online right now and the week's lesson was about aperture. She was my very willing subject yesterday to pose for me out in our orchard. (Cade was my subject the week before for shutter speed- jumping on the trampoline). Anyway, these were her favorites that she picked out and she wanted me to put them on the computer just like this.
Me, at 17 weeks pregnant.
Me at 37 weeks pregnant. I honestly didn't think I'd take any more belly shots this late in the game. Guess I was feeling good that day. And I thought it would be pretty with the lilacs behind me. BTW, have I told you about all of the lilacs at our house? We have a whole row of them on the edge of our driveway and they smell heavenly in the spring. Or, like this year, for two weeks before the flowers fall off. I'm glad I got these pictures when I did.
And here's Cade. Have I ever mentioned that he likes to get into things? A lot? Like everytime my back is turned? Well, this day in March I went to feed our animals (pigs and chickens) in the morning and I came back to this. He had found the hair clippers I bought to trim Molly, our dog, and he did a stripe right across the top of his head. Nice. So then I had to fix it. Poor guy looked like a cancer patient for a few weeks. I was entertained by thinking of all the retorts to potential comments about his haircut, like:
We're conserving shampoo at out house.
He tried out the reverse Mohawk look.
Going for the cancer patient 'do.
He wanted to look like Grandpa. (Cole's dad has very little on top)
We wanted to be ready for summer early this year.
And here's Telena on her 3rd birthday. One of the things my kids loved doing, Rylee especially, was go to the Disney Store at the Mall. Well, just after Rylee's birthday, we realized it had closed. When we went there to go shopping with her birthday money. We did find the Build-a-Bear store though, and so far Cade and Telena have made their own bears. Telena got one for her birthday and we went and got it stuffed and dressed as her present. She loves it and calls it "Rapunzel Bear" because it wears the dress from Tangled. (BTW, I was shocked at the prices at Build-a-Bear the first time I went, but if you sign up for emails you can get a heads-up on sales and get coupons. I even got a bear for free from this. It's waiting for Rylee.)
Belt from Ruche- maybe I could make this myself.
I think I'm in love with this skirt from DownEast.
Shoes from Ruche. I can't wait to have ankles back and my feet are their regular size again so I can wear heels!
